Depends

>In his autumn before the winter, comes mans last mad surge of youth.
>What on Earth are you talking about?

what's the quote?
why that quote?
how does it relate to the music?
is the quote SO IMPORTANT for the listener to truly understand the music that it absolutely must be included in the audio itself, rather than the liner notes?
does the music suffer without the quote?
etc.

They don't sleep anymore on the beach.

He come to me with money in his hand
He offered me, I didn't ask him
I wasn't knocking someone's door down, I was running from that
When I got out, I was in that
I was already through that, I had that
I had the studio. I went to the studio
I went to Fox studios. I had it all, and I looked at it and said, 'This is a bigger jail than I just got out of.'
I don't want to take my time going to work
I got a motorcycle and a sleeping bag
And ten or fifteen girls
What the hell I wanna go off into -- and go to work for?
Work for what, money? I got all the money in the world
I'm the king, man
I run the underworld, guy
I decide whos does what and where they do it at
What am I gonna run around and act like I'm some teenybopper somewhere, for somebody else's money?
I make the money, man. I roll the nickels
The game is mine
I deal the cards.
